| - First the good. Service was exceptional. Extremely friendly, and ultra attentive. Atmosphere was also quite nice. The disappointing part of the evening came with the food. Started with the yellow tail and sea bass appetizers. Not spectacular, but certainly very good. The high point of the meal was the watercress salad - it was truly exceptional. Most of the main courses were very tasteless, highlighted by the miso cod. It had virtually no flavor on its own, and with the sauce it was only slightly better. We didn't even feel the need to finish it, something I never remember doing with any miso cod. A mushroom side was also suggested, that was so salty, there was no trace of mushroom taste. We ended with a roll, and very limited flavor, and what flavor was there, was not the greatest.
Also not thrilled at all with the drinks. Had two martinis - very small pours, and very little alcohol. Tasted like I was drinking only juice.
We had looked very forward to Zuma opening, as loved Blue Ribbon at Cosmo, and was looking for another choice that rivaled, Nobu, Sushisamba, etc. Sorry to say Zuma did not even hold a candle to these. We will not be returning.
